Default Undoing the FLAC Blog Bull****

lossless = no information lost


Not 100% true.

"Information" includes any cue points (index points) embedded in
the WAV file. These are usually lost when making a FLAC.

It can be saved and restored only with the
"--keep-foreign-metadata" option, in FLAC version 1.2.1 or newer.


You know, that's an interesting point. The audio is lossless, but the
metadata may or may not be. Index points are easy to transfer, but
you can put an awful lot of metadata in a .bwv file.
